Don’t forget that SimpLLLe Jim inherited a roster that was a schematic fit for what he wanted to run. Hoke inherited a roster full of slot dots, a roster that had seen the defensive side of the ball ignored for three years.

I’ll admit, I’m pretty surprised that it’s gone this poorly. I didn’t think he’d waltz in and start winning the B1G, but I thought he’d have them at least near the level sparty was from ‘13-‘15. Instead, he fielded a team that was a Hoke-analog in year three, and unless he significantly shakes up his coaching staff, year four doesn’t look much better. And harbrau isn’t known for shaking up his coaching staff, even when they grossly underperform (see: Roman, Greg).

I look for them to be very good next year IF Patterson pans out.

I dunno, man. Those rivalry games flip to the road next year. The OL isn't getting any better, in fact, their T depth will be perilously thin. Patterson's stats that they're touting were sub-mediocre against teams with a pulse, and they will still have Drevno/Hamilton driving the offense.

The only way I see them improving much offensively is if they find a good offensive coordinator, and I don't see Harbrau making a change. He stuck with Greg Roman until the bitter end in SF despite diminishing returns each year.

He needs to.follow Franklin's example and find a Joe Moorhead to save his offense, but I'd be shocked to see him.go that route. He has his woefully underqualified (alleged) son coaching RBs fergodsakes.

Of course, most mistakes don’t just happen on their own. It takes a collective effort, like on a fumbled handoff exchange between Brandon Peters and Sean McKeon. It seemed peculiar that McKeon, a redshirt freshman tight end without any previous carries, would get the call on a crucial third-and-one.

Perhaps that was never supposed to be the case. After the game, Jim Harbaugh blamed the miscue on the coaching staff, noting that they had the wrong personnel in the game. It was a mistake that Peters realized as well. Yet it went unchecked, and the result was costly for the Wolverines.

“Yeah, I did realize it, but I thought (McKeon would) know what to do,” Peters explained. “When I snapped the ball, he seemed a little surprised that I was handing him the ball. I should’ve seen that and made sure he knew what he was doing.”

When asked if there was a moment where the Gamecocks’ defense felt they had solved the Wolverines, cornerback JaMarcus King gave an affirmative answer. He felt that way after Michigan’s first two drives.

“They gave us everything,” King said. “After that, we knew we could stop everything.”

Why? King felt the Wolverines were playing to their tendencies — running a lot of the same routes over and over again.

“The choice route where the receiver runs a mesh and the tight end runs a dig,” King said. “So they ran that probably 85 percent of the time, and they ran a lot of stop routes on the back side.”

Similar to King, Kinlaw felt early on that his team held a clear advantage, even if the Gamecocks trailed by as much as 16 points in the second half.

“I knew from the first play that we were going to win that game,” Kinlaw said. “I could tell from a physical standpoint.”

Calling Michigan’s offense predictable, Kinlaw — similar to Brunson — had an idea of when the Wolverines would run the ball and when Peters would drop back to pass.

As the game went on, he noticed something else as well — a change in Michigan’s body language.

“When I see body language switch, heads moping,” Kinlaw said, “that makes me want to turn it up even more.”

I remember that Pat Shurmur did this exact same thing in a game against the Rams in 2011. And that play resulted in a fumble as well: LINK
Alex Smith (the tight end) played in 85 NFL games in six-plus NFL seasons before Sunday. In all that time, he never took a handoff.

With the Browns on the Rams' 9 on second-and-goal with 3:10 to play and the Browns trailing, 13-12, Colt McCoy tried to hand off to Smith on a play designed for normal fullback Owen Marecic. Smith never got the ball. Joshua Cribbs recovered the fumble, but it was a wasted play. "Owen got dinged on the play before and had to come out. I don't think Coach knew it," Smith said. "I've never taken a handoff to the best of my recollection, but I'm a football player and I feel like that's a basic thing to get an exchange and ram it up there for some yards." Smith is 6-foot-4. Marecic is 6-foot. Smith speculated the height difference was a factor in the bad exchange.

So Simple Jim is now in the same category as Pat Shurmur as a head coach. Bravo, Jim-bo!

Not defending tsun but pointing out that the SEC types are famous for their revisionist history when making comments like these.

Riiight. That's why the tsun DL was rag dolling the USCe OL all game and built a 19-3 lead late in the game.

You want to call him out for stupid playcalling and team wide puckering in the 4th quarter, be my guest but stop with the "ZOMG SEC!" man beast bullshit. Only thing your mouthy ass knew from the first play was that it was being punched.
